Logan honey, litchi honey, and flower honey are the three main honeys produced in Taiwan, so there are few products to choose from. In recent years, the Farm has mainly promoted cajuput tree honey, a tree commonly seen in Taoyuan. It is also referred to as “manuka honey in Taiwan.” These trees bloom in August, so cajuput tree honey is seasonal. Its production is little, and the honey is extremely special.

Cajuput trees and manuka trees come from the same plant family. The honey has a dark color and rich taste. The honey crystalizes easily, helps the body resist bacteria, and reduces inflammation. Cajuput tree honey has a hint of caramelized flavor. Some people say it tastes like honey sweet potatoes. The honey goes well with highly fragrant fruit or vegetable juices, such as apple, pineapple, guava, sprout, etc. Although its effects and taste are similar to manuka honey in New Zealand, the honey is more affordable.

“Beeswax cloth” is one of the most interesting experience activities. This DIY shares a traditional method for preserving food that originated in North America. Made of natural beeswax and cotton and linen cloth, beeswax cloth is similar to plastic food wrap but can be used over and over again. Beeswax cloth can protect food from air and dust, while helping food to “breathe naturally.” It is already widespread in Europe and the US but is relatively rare in Taiwan.
